344: Sabre-rattling

As soon as Xiao Ziyu's words fell, the huge courtyard immediately fell silent.

Her voice is obviously not loud, but the content is shocking enough.

The affairs of the king's shopkeeper's house, which are well known.

The mother of the king's shopkeeper would rather keep the tomb for many years to eat fasting and pray Buddha, just to pave the future for her husband and children.

The Bai family attaches great importance to feelings.

So over the years, even if there are omissions in the shopkeeper Wang, Bai Congjian has never said anything!

This also led to the fact that many people who relied on their own contributions to the Bai family had other thoughts.

However, the housemother of the Bai family has just married into the Bai family, and she is about to be promoted again?

How could it be Chen Sheng?

This man is notoriously stubborn, not only does he speak ugly, but he doesn't know how to do things tactfully!

"Mrs......" Before Chen Sheng could react, the shopkeeper Wang retorted in disregard of the rules, "Madam, you can't be like this, I have been in the Bai family for many years, and I am also in charge of the shops in these places, I am more familiar than anyone else!"

Maybe it was because he was too excited, or maybe it was because he already had some disdain for Xiao Ziyu, so the voice of the shopkeeper at this time was raised a lot.

Steward Han, who was on the side, frowned when he heard this.

This is so unusual, how can it be so unruly.

"What does the shopkeeper mean is that I can't take care of the affairs of the Bai family?" Xiao Ziyu asked rhetorically, "This Bai family, is it time for the shopkeeper to have the final say in the future?"

The language is as gentle as a spring breeze in March, but the content is like a poisonous gas carried in this warm wind.

The shopkeeper was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while!

Xiao Ziyu gave him such a big hat, he didn't dare to wear it.

Although the Bai family is tolerant, they are also different from each other.

Zhu Shi, who was on the side, saw people who were used to beating around the bush, but she didn't expect Xiao Ziyu to say so directly! She wondered for a while, is Xiao Ziyu really smart or stupid?

Such fortitude!

This is the Bai family, and there are many children in the family, if you really offend these people, there is no benefit.

Bai Congjian has been conniving at them all these years?

"Brother and sister!" Zhu saw that the shopkeeper Wang's face was pale, and said, "In the three places of Jingzhou, Yecheng, and Gusu, there are many grain shops. Shopkeeper Chen is young, I'm afraid he won't be able to take on this big responsibility!"

Xiao Ziyu laughed when he heard this.

Some people actually say that Chen Sheng can't take on the big responsibility?

In her previous life, Bai Congjian protected her and didn't let her manage the affairs of the back house, for fear that she would worry about these interpersonal relationships. But after all, she is the head mother of the Bai family, so how can she not know anything about the inner house.

In the few years when Steward Han rested, except for the thirteen who helped Bai Congjian deal with the things in the shop, he later became Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng is not a child of the family, but an orphan picked up by Bai Congjian when he went to sea in the past, and has been raised in the Bai family.

Perhaps because he has no relationship with his parents, Chen Sheng's temperament is a little gloomy, and he doesn't know how to beat around the bush when he speaks, but is outspoken.

Such a person is too direct and easy to offend people.

Bai Congjian also seemed to understand this, and directly asked Chen Sheng to manage the Bai family's treasury in the capital and began to sharpen him.

In just a few years, Chen Sheng was reborn.

Later, although his temperament, words and deeds were not as mellow as those of other shopkeepers and stewards, he was very methodical, which allowed the Bai family's business in the sea to expand a lot.

As for the king's treasurer...... was not greedy enough, and finally caused too many loopholes, and was driven out of the Bai family by Bai Congjian.

Bai Congjian knew these things in his previous life, and there may be two reasons why he did not drive away the shopkeeper Wang in this life.

First, it is to let her gain a firm foothold in the Bai family, so that she can find loopholes to do it.

Second, there may be a little mercy, hoping that the shopkeeper can change it.

I believe that these days, Bai Congjian has also reminded the shopkeeper Wang, but it is a pity that the shopkeeper Wang did whatever he wanted by relying on what his mother had done to the Bai family.

Shopkeeper Wang didn't think about changing.

It's really hard to change what is in your bones.

"So what does the sister-in-law think?" Xiao Ziyu looked at Zhu and raised his eyebrows.

She is not a saint, and when the Zhu family is hostile to her, they have to make her retreat.

She will not regress!

In dealing with the affairs of the back house, Xiao Ziyu never thought that it was right to retreat and forbear.

Seeing that Xiao Ziyu seemed to be loosening, Zhu immediately smiled and said, "This matter has passed, and the master has never said anything, so forget it! And in business, there are times when you make money and when you lose money!"

"Does sister-in-law think so?" Xiao Ziyu stretched out his hand and said to the begonias beside him, "Bring the account book!"

Before coming to the West Flower Hall, Xiao Ziyu took a lot of account books from Bai Congjian's study.

It's just that she doesn't want to be known about this, but it seems that she can't do it now.

Since she was determined to do this, she naturally wanted to do it well.

Haitang nodded when he heard this, turned around and went into the inner room and came out with the account book.

The stewards in the courtyard secretly took a breath of cold air when they saw the account book taken out by Begonia.

The Bai family is different from each other, and the concubines are even more distinct, and there are even fewer shopkeepers who can enter Bai Congjian's study over the years.

Even if Steward Han didn't have Bai Congjian's instructions, he couldn't take out the things in Bai Congjian's study without permission, let alone flip through these account books.

"Since my sister-in-law thinks that what I did is wrong, then I will talk about what Steward Wang has done!" Xiao Ziyu's hands were white and tender, and when he flipped through the account book, his eyes were even more focused. At this time, she still looks like a young girl, more like a person with a deep city, "Ten years ago, the silver account of Gusu's loss was recorded as six thousand eight hundred taels, but I looked carefully, and this amount seems to be wrong. To be precise, the loss of silver is actually nine thousand three hundred taels. Also, nine years ago, Yecheng ......"

Xiao Ziyu read it out with a pen, and in the end, the people who listened were even more frightened.

These numbers may not seem like much at the time, and they will not go unnoticed.

But when you add it up, it's quite scary.

Even the Zhu family was surprised that the shopkeeper Wang, who seemed to be loyal and honest on weekdays, actually had such a greedy side.

I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart.

In the end, Xiao Ziyu looked at the shopkeeper Wang who was about to faint, and glanced at the people standing in the courtyard again.

"Accounts can be falsified, but what is actually lost is known as soon as it is calculated. Xiao Ziyu's voice was serious, "The Bai family has never treated any shopkeeper badly, and they have given a lot of dividends over the years. It's yours, and no matter how much you take, I won't say anything. But it shouldn't be yours, and you can't take any more points!"

"The so-called disaster Xiao Wall, the average big family, if you want to break it outside, you need a lot of thought. But once it festers from the inside, then it can't be controlled!"

"I'm not a master, and I don't know what you did for the Bai family in the past!"

"So, what you have to do now is to make it clear to me that you are not messing around!"
